Rather them localize the Mana Collection over. Wasn't impressed.

>>388474357
I'm butthurt. Legend of Mana should've received a remake.

Never going to see my waifu Sierra in modern graphics.

>>388474469
Do you really want to see a Legend of Mana remake without the godly pre-rendered background art?

>>388474357
I love Secret of Mana so much. Pure nostalgia talking. The music still makes me want to cry and I am a grown man. This looks really bad though and it makes me very sad. Hopeful it looks a lot better closer to release but I won't hold my breath.

>>388474550
Are you implying they wouldn't remake the pre-rendered background art and sprites? I would buy a LoM remake because I put so many hours in it to complete the game.

My first playthrough had me finishing the game without knowing about the recruitable harpy/her hidden final story + I managed to miss the tutorial level completely by accident.

>>388474904
>Are you implying they wouldn't remake the pre-rendered background art and sprites?

Yes. It doesn't happen. They would make the game in true 3D with textures and polygons.

>>388474357
Will they actually improve the game?
Currently playing and the game seems pretty generic with a nice OST.
Did people only like it so much because it has a great OST and is a RPG with multiplayer?

>>388475930
>Did people only like it so much because it has a great OST and is a RPG with multiplayer?

Pretty much. It has a decent enough story too, once you get into it.

>>388475930
Pretty much. The soundtrack is golden and it's a game you can play with your little brother so he doesn't bitch about you hogging the SNES. These are the reasons people liked it.

>>388475930
Basically. Nostalgia aside, I recognize that the game is mediocre. But that title theme brings me to my knees.

>>388474357
I feel like I would have been a lot more excited if it was still 2D, or at least good 3D. Instead we got what looks like a phone game, and it looks far worse than the original.

It was a game I played with my mom. Maybe we'll play again.

>>388476519

>>388476714
You can use the old soundtrack instead of the new one, but there's nothing to indicate that Kikuta is involved with the new one.

>>388474357

There's really not much to say because SE hasn't told us very much about it except, "Hey, it's a thing." I hope that the "enhanced gameplay" means dropping the fucking ring system.

>>388477000
>means dropping the fucking ring system.

But then how am I gonna cheese bosses by spamming gem missile?

>>388476943
Cool. Thanks for the info anon

Insanely overpriced for a remake of an old game, not to mention that it only looks good on phones

>>388477000
Didn't they say it's ditching the stamina system?

>>388474357
I feel as though visually, it'd look much better if they did more work with shadows, and tried to make the characters and environment more to scale with each other, instead of going for a pseudo-chibi style.

Unless the final version looks MUCH MUCH better than what they have shown right now I think they are ripping us off. I'll buy it at a discount after a year or so.

And I love the franchise, I just don't want to pay 40 fucking dollars for a phone quality game.

Look at .hack Gu coming out soon. Remastered, updated and with brand new part 4 content/story to work through +sound track.

Then you look at this, 3ds level of meh. Only good thing that will come out of this is Primm porn.

It looks cute.
I never played Secret of Mana so this seems like a good way to get into it. It looks like its going to have online co-op too which is pretty rad. Digital only is kind of lame but I play on PC so this is nothing new. Hopefully Square will put Adventures of Mana on Steam too eventually, and it'd be cool if they keep up these old remakes too. Live A Live perhaps? That said the price is a little high. I'll still go for it but if it were about half that it'd be much better.

>>388481931
Yeah. That's not saying much though.
SoM3D is a 50 dollar slap in the face. BoF6 is like watching the person you hate the most rape the person you love the most, and watch that beloved person slowly go from hating it to liking it all while that hated person looks you in the face, and there's nothing you can do about it. Also, the Tsujimotos are pouring their wine on top of you and them while this happens.

The absolute worst part is knowing that BoF6 fucking sucks as a game on top of all that.

there's almost no difference between the branches, it just fucks you over when the enemies don't drop the item so you can class change because you just level up with max stats and waste a level.

What's wrong with it this track? It's meant to sound spooky and make you feel unease because you are entering a palace pretty much to a clut filled with the undead. Do you have no idea of atmosphere?

Not to rain on anyones parade, but.. Why on earth are you excited for a shoddy 3D remake that throws out all the original art, a bad re-done soundtrack, and other modern gen gimmicks...? The original is literally free via emulators and more playable and replayable than any remake could ever hope to be.

I'm considering it

but I've heard it's like other mobile games even though you just purchase it once in that you have to wait time for stuff to happen

>>388491491
Because it has a nice rhythm and a fairly complex structure that fully complements the mood of the setting?
Arguing musical taste is even more fruitless than arguing taste in videogames.

>Oppressive dungeon area has uneasy music
>Annoying dwarf town area has quirky music
Seems like a pretty good soundtrack.

>>388491553
It's releasing in Februrary so it's probably already mostly finished.

>>388491764
I dunno, I don't trust Square Enix anymore when all they do is cancel anything that's not Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts, with a few exceptions here or there.
If it gets released then that'll be great, though.

>Voice acting
They're going to give Popoi a grading high pitched moe voice aren't they?

>>388491056
Nobody's excited for it. Hell, the game was never good to begin with. This whole product is just nostalgia pandering fodder. Try playing Secret of Mana on an emulator one of these days. I guarantee it's not as fun as your eight-year-old self thought it was.

>>388491884
you can already hear the voice on the site
but I'm too retarded to find it right now

>>388491675
Its very minor, you only have to wait to harvest potatoes and crystals, and when you are building stuff. Dungeons are always available.

>>388492092
does it need you to play every single day or can you binge that shit?
can you ignore it for months at a time and be ok?

>>388491935
Yes it is.

>>388492157
Binge.

>>388492304
thanks my boy

>>388491971
If you have javascript off, you probably can't hear it. I had to turn it on.
Popoi's voice is... understandable for what it is. Definitely sounds mischievous, but a bit dorky.
Primm is pretty serious. Randi, we've bitched enough already about how he sounds twice as old as he should be.

>>388474357
My all-time favorite game (due in part to nostalgia).
Can't wait to play the shit out of it and mute those fucking voices.

>>388474357
But why does it need a remake? The original aged flawlessly.

If it was never good, there wouldn't be any nostalgia for it. Besides, I played it a few years ago and still loved it.

Why does every male protagonist's dub voice have to sound like Keanu Reeves in Point Break?

This one.

Is the game going to include missing content and the original redbook audio?

Party on, dude!

I'll but it, but just for the chance of getting an actual Mana game in the future.

>3D

They have such great looking 2D artwork, a real shame when the game itself has terrible 3D visuals.

Any words about being able to turn voices off?

>>388474357
I hope they keep going with these remakes. It'll be worth it just to see Seiken Densetsu 4 get a remake.
